15 November 2018 Thursday Weigh-in

[FlatlandDave]

Hi all, I was the first one on so I figured I would get this going,

 

Not much time to work out this week but still down #1. Finding that raw veggies make a great snack!

[Shellbelle28]

I wrote you all a Cruise Critic Lose Before You Cruise limerick in honor of Belle:

There once was a cruiser from Lubbock,

With a bit too much flesh in the buttock.

He found some plump friends on line,

They all tried hard not to whine,

As each suffered from loud, growling stomachs!

 

So, my week wasn't the best. I managed to stay the same. I had hoped to see a teeny loss this morning, but DH made the most delicious oyster beef stir fry for dinner last night. It was made with tenderloin, no way was I throwing that out, so I had a bigger portion size than usual. That's reality though, just got to keep at it. As long as I don't give up, I'll lose in the long run. Thanksgiving being next Thursday means at least the weigh in is BEFORE the big meal! 

Hope everyone had a good week!

Shellbelle28 - Really enjoyed your limerick, very nice.

 

Dave - thanks for starting the thread.

 

I am down this week a total of 1.4# which means I've now lost 5.4#  only a million to go!!!, but one step at a time works ... I plan on keeping regimented eating until my April cruise. (I hope).

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful week.  Best of luck to all.  Jan

Nice loss Jan, 1.4 is great.

Dave, thanks for the thread.

 

I am the same. Hoping I would lose but hard to do with a guest for a week. Glad I didn't gain though. 

 

Dave and Jan, good losses. Jan, hey that total is looking great!

 

Shellbelle, the same is still positive. Oh and thanks for the ditty, very cute. 

 

Have a good day,

 

Diana

Checking in for the first time in a few weeks.  I am up 3.4.  That is over 3 weeks.  We were gone 15 days and I knew I would “endulge” a few times. Must have endulged more than I thought. I had planned on going to the gym everyday. I started out great. Then one day I felt a pull in my leg but thought it was no big deal. Apparently bigger than I thought as by the time we got back home I was in tears from the pain.  So ended up on a steroid pack....which, of course, increases the appetite.  I have tried to be good since we got back but haven’t really concentrated on “dieting”.  Here for another week then off for 14 days cruising.  Don’t think I’ll be as bad this time though as not as many specialty restaurants. 

 

Congrats to those with losses. Everyone hang in there! We can do it! (With a few ups and downs along the way!)

Skiiergirl, sorry your leg is troubling you. Get better soon! Not such a bad gain for the length of cruise.

 

Hubby and I live near Sacramento, CA. The air quality from the Camp Fire is awful so we are in Sparks, NV through Monday. Air much better here. Feel so sorry for the people of Paradise, CA.  Such a tragedy. 

 

On a good note we belong to 24 hour fitness so we can go to any of their locations. There are 2 nearby. Going there daily.

Hello Everyone! Starting my last 20 days. Where did the first 25 go? Enjoyed Europe and the TA.

Now the Caribbean.  Sounds like your all doing pretty good some with a few hicups! (why did that old saying

just come up in my mind?)

 

Take care thinking of you all but don't want to hurry back..you understand!

[Jan_In_Maine]

Belle - so glad to hear from you --- so glad you are enjoying your newest adventure ... enjoy every day.  Jan

 

[winewanderer]

Belle, thanks for popping in. These last 3 weeks will fly by. Glad you're enjoying the cruise.

 

Take care and we miss you too.

I'm trying to lose my weekly pound or so early since once Thursday dinner comes it's going to be tough!

Ya that will be tough... The DW and I have a tradition of going to a casino buffet as the kids have so many places to go to on Thanksgiving.. Gotta load up on salad ( will be tough as they always have great prime rib and Italian sausage and peppers ).

FlatlandDave, thanks for starting the thread 🙂 

Shellbelle, cute limerick - maintaining this time of year is a win of its own

Nice loss, Jan!

Diana, I was like you with maintaining - at least it's not a gain 😉 I hope your air quality returns soon - the whole situation is heart breaking 💔 

Skiiergirl, feel well soon.  The last time I was on steroids I gained a pound per day 😮Hoping it drops off quickly for you.

Thanks for checking in Belle, enjoy the rest of your trip 

 

We had a good time at the college visit, but nearly 20 hours in the car plus no-so-healthy food choices on the trip has me dreading weigh-in this week.  A bit of good news though is that my back and hip pain are minimal and my workouts have been much stronger 😄

I feel your pain! I'm cooking a 22 pound turkey... for 4 people! But I hate not having a lot of leftover turkey after going to the trouble to cook it. 

I've decided I'm going to eat whatever I want and as much of it at Thanksgiving dinner, then it is back to being careful right away.
